NY Mom, Thanks so much for that post, and for being an active poster to this thread!

There are some people who don’t realize the safety hazards of installing and using a car seat incorrectly.

Some parents jump at the chance to get a forward facing car seat, but the longer you can keep your child rear facing the better. For instance, there are some car seats that will allow rear facing up to 35 pounds.

I know someone who did car seat safety inspections, and he said that nearly every single person there had the infant seat put in incorrectly. There was even someone who had everything else right about the seat and was so proud of themselves, until the inspector showed the person that the car seat was Not buckled to the seat in the car. Yikes!
